Pluspunten

1)Good starting point if you want to enter in Brussels work environment. 2)Amazing RA Manager and CR Manager, the only two with a real business view and with an eye on the reality of the Med Tech Market and the situation of the company. 3)friendly environment.

Minpunten

1)Most important: they ask you a degree (at least a bachelor) to be hired, but you will discover that you can be Junior manager and part of the legal department without a degree. Yes, this is happening the general requirements they ask to be hired are not apply to all the employees, probably someone is more special than the others. 2)Family company with the 3 people of the board (father, son and daughter) too much involved in the daily basis work. Managers do not have any power of taking decisions. 3)The board thinks only about the money and does not care about the whole company. 3)COO doing micromanaging, intervening and answering the email of the client out of nowhere, creating issue to the consultant. 4)CEO according to him is the Head of HR. He decided everything in this topic, even when a simple intern is involved. 5)Lack of response and knowledge from HR. They take days, sometimes weeks to answer questions from the employees. Sometimes they do not even answer, thinking that the people are dumb and they forget. 6)Except for the RA Manager and CR Manager, the others managers care only about their garden, protecting their teams and not taking any responsibility in case something went or is going wrong. 7)Payroll team is part of accounting. They salary are never correct (in particular if you have commissions). You always have to ask clarification and when you ask the answers are never polite but in a tone like you are stealing them money and they make you a favor paying for the job you did. 8)The board believes that RA can be handled by intern so they do not care about their employees and as soon as they had a decrease in the revenue they did not renew 8 people from RA and they fired 5 in 2 months (between June / July). 9)Lack of business view and plan from the Board. They adapt the business plan based on the monthly revenues. 10)Lack of communication in case of an relevant change in the working rules / policy or in the career plan from HR and the Board. 11) A lot of people are leaving in the last period.

Pluspunten

Healthy work pace, low stress levels. Stable company

Minpunten

Lack of processes and accountability for results. Feedback is not commonly given, and no one speaks to you directly about expectations. Even the simplest task takes a lot of time and faces resistance due to the fragmentation of teams

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We believe this review refers to a different company with a similar name, located in Cyprus. Our organization operates in Brussels, Belgium in Regulatory Affairs domain and therefore, is not affiliated with that entity. We take all feedback seriously and want to ensure reviews reflect the correct employer experience.

Pluspunten

Very good environment: young, friendly, dynamic. Very good possibility of growing for committed employees. Periodic checks on employees' satisfaction to gather ideas for internal improvement. Diverse tasks and high-level knowledge gained in a relatively short time. Very good benefits basket.

Minpunten

The job is demanding and requires hard work and commitment to learn and work on diverse topics. It may take some time for newcomers to understand the added value of gaining so much knowledge.
